Summary
The Trump administration has frozen $175 million in federal funding to the University of Pennsylvania over its policies allowing trans women to compete in women’s sports.
A senior official said this is “just a taste” of further action, with UPenn at risk of losing all federal funding due to a Title IX investigation.
Trump signed an executive order on February 5 banning trans women from women’s sports, citing fairness and safety concerns.
Advocacy groups are challenging the move, arguing it discriminates against trans athletes.
I totally agree. But not everyone feels the same.
You also don’t stop them by saying “your disgusting and your opinion doesn’t matter.”
Everything you’re saying here is an emotional response to this issue. You’re not helping anyone, you’re not objectively looking at the problem. You just want to curtail the rights of those you don’t agree with and bolster those that you do. And that’s dangerous because it’s exactly what the trans hating people want to do too, but somehow it’s right for you to do but bad for them to do it in your eyes when in fact its wrong for both of you to do…
Paradox of tolerance. If white people are uncomfortable sitting in a diner with black folks, they can go somewhere else.
And again, this isn’t the student’s body making this demand. It’s the US president.
So your whole argument is disingenuous to begin with. And my emotional response is for you. For your ignorance that you are spreading here.
Do some research and do some reading.
The paradox of tolerance is tolerating intolerance can lead to the erosion of tolerance itself. I’m perfectly cognizant of what you’re trying to say, and what your meaning is and I can tell by your replies that you’ve not only not read what I’ve said (or don’t understand it), but you’re entirely misrepresenting what I have said.
You’re under the entirely mistaken impression that I’m being tolerant of those who are being intolerant because I’m not calling for their heads on pikes. Being anti-trans is intolerant and I believe that pushing back against them is worth doing and necessary for a society. But acknowledging that, according to the US constitution, these intolerant people have the right to be intolerant in the same way that trans people have the right to be trans, isn’t being tolerant of the intolerant. It’s pointing out that our most supreme law of the land affords these people this right and attempting to curtail that right is in violation of those rights and is unconstitutional in the same way its unconstitutional to attempt to curtail the rights of trans.
I’ve said exactly two things in the entirety of all my replies here;
Personally I would hope that wouldn’t be the case. I would think that the younger generation have a good head on their shoulders and would see that trans rights are human rights. But you can’t force that ideology onto people. Recognizing people have a right to be intolerant isn’t siding with them, nor is it feeding into a tolerance paradox. I can still call them assholes and bigots while simultaneously recognizing their right to be repugnant.
